Summary: "Whisper His Name" is not up to Thornton's other books.
Review: I used to say, "I'll read anything written by Elizabeth Thornton." However, "Whisper His Name" was a total disappointment. I couldn't make it past Page 99, and even that was an effort.

Summary: More suspense than romance, but worth the suspense
Review: It's not very often that a romance writer dares to have a woman and man be FRIENDS first--best of friends at that, then lovers. That alone made this book a worthwhile read. I tire of all those bickering couples. Lovers' spats now and then are expected, but, really, the constant arguing to mask quivering sensitivities does get old. A good plot needs conflict, but quarreling over the usual well-worn devices ("S/he is only using me," "S/he doesn't/can't really love ME," etc, ad nauseum) doesn't necessarily qualify for that.This book doesn't do that. The main plot revolves around finding out who has kidnapped the heroine's brother, and why. The answer really isn't a surprise to anyone who has read the spy books of John Le Carre. The romantic plot conflict is very real, and very understandable: We're all thrown for a loop, to realize that someone we THOUGHT we knew so well might have some traits, or secrets, that we hadn't expected. It takes some time to adjust, to get past the feeling of betrayal, the feeling that we weren't trusted with certain information, to trust again. As is often the case, doubt leads to doubt. It is how the lovers overcome all the havoc wreaked by so much doubting that makes a story. Hugh and Abbie are able to overcome these problems not for a reason as idiotic as being good in the sack together (although they of course are), but because they have a stronger foundation than most romance-book couples: They are friends, first. Thank you, Ms. Thornton, for writing a romance book that makes sense, romantically speaking.

Summary: Lots of suspense, great characters!
Review: Most romance novels start with at least a hero, if not a heroine, who is larger than life. However, Whisper His Name shows how two rather ordinary people can be transformed by circumstances into extraordinary people. The characters were well developed. The plot was gripping and full of suspense. In fact, I finished the book in two days. I had no idea who the real traitor was until the very end.

Summary: More suspense than romance, but worth the suspense
Review: Only my second Elizabeth Thornton novel to read and I was not disappointed. Abigail Vale is a financially independent woman who is touring the Continent with her brother and unsuspectantly becomes involved with a murderous plot to topple the political structure of Great Britain. Nemo, one of Napoleon's most demented secret agents, has tracked Abigail to Bath, England after abducting her brother for the exchange of a coded book that Abigail has in her possession, which she obtained when a female secret agent purposely jostled Abbie's books and the agent switched books with Abbie. Abbie unknowly traveled back to Bath with the coded book that others will kill for. Hugh Templer, an ex-secret agent for Great Britain, is vacationing in Bath had previously befriended Abbie in France. Hugh's loyalty to his country is challenged and Hugh becomes a suspect in a plot to overthrow the government. Hugh is called out of retirement after attempts on his life and his past coming back to haunt him. Hugh and Abby both become embroiled in double agents, murder, suspicion, and of course love. The romantic aspect of the novel is weak and unbelievable at times, however the suspense will keep you turning the page. This is only my second Thornton novel and each delivers end of your seat suspense. If you're a suspense fan, then Thornton is your writer, but if you enjoy the 'I've always loved you now let's hit the sack' novels, then Thorn is definitely not your writer. Happy readings!!

As Abbie and Hugh are thrown deeper and deeper into danger the closer they become. Abbie realizes what Hugh has known all along, love.

I highly recommend WHISPER HIS NAME and look forward to reading more in the future.
